Settng Up Shortcuts To Command Line Programs

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I want to setup a shortcut on my desktop to bring up the command line
shutdown GUI but when I do the dos window opens when the GUI come up. I don't
want the dos window to show, I just want he GUI, can anyone tell when how to
do that?

The current command on the "Target" line in the shortcut is
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -i all the other items on the shortcut were
lert at their default settings.

Thank you for your help>

Thanks Daniel, the second choice seems to be the best for me although I would
perfer to just have the GUI open without having the dos window open at all.

Thank you very much for helping.
